LOWER SHOSHONE – Flows are around 265 cfs and fishing has been great recently all the way down to Willwood! The water is really clear with the exception of a few of the smaller creeks coming off the peaks which can dump in a little color on the warmer days as the lower elevation snow melts. Blue winged olives and midges are popping and have the trout looking up. Nymphing a sow bug, midge larva or blue wing nymph has also been effective. Streamers, especially when floating, are always a good option.
BIG HORN / WIND – Flows are around 700 cfs and fishing has been fantastic even with the high volume of boat traffic! You can head hunt for risers on blue winged olives and midges but a sow bug, blue wing nymph, midge larva, worm, or egg under a bobber will produce the most fish. Streamers have also been picking up some nice fish lately.
NORTH FORK – Flows have been spiking with the warm weather and has the river very off color. The clarity will hopefully improve with the cooler weather mid-week before the closure on April 1st. Big stoneflies, attractor nymphs, eggs and streamers on heavy tippet (0-2X).
SOUTH FORK – Flows have been spiking with the warm weather and has the river very off color but the clarity will hopefully improve with the cooler weather mid-week. There were a few skwalas hatching last week as well as midges. Dry/dropper or nymphing with a stonefly or attractor nymphs has been good. Streamers have also been catching some good fish.
CLARK’S FORK – Flows have been spiking with the warm weather and has the river off color, especially below Paint and Pat O’Hara Creeks. The clarity will hopefully improve with the cooler weather mid-week.Midges, stonefly & attractor nymphs and streamers.
